Read this first · the figures below need context
76% of Brickell Family Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to The Sterling Donor Advised Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 17 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2024, the last year Brickell Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 14 organizations, $75k. It is dated, not current.
